Knowing Ronald for a couple of years now has progressively given me a broader understanding of him, primarily, as a human being. Dedication, constancy, self-improvement, are terms, among others that come to mind, describing his passion for life, and ultimately for music. I proudly manifest my involvement in Ronald’s development as a musician since his most recent, and successful musical journey. In fact, I’d dare to say that we began ideating and combining our musical ideas one night at his pad. Later that same year we decided to walk on different directions—musically. Nevertheless, that’s another story…
When I first opened my ears to—still-in-the-cradle—Ronald’s music, I quickly noticed how those terms I mentioned before reflected so fitly on his work. Transitioning from his then band Single Dot to the more robust musical and artistic structure he presents today, Ronald unknowingly—yet conscious in his deep mind, surpassed “that” even he might have ambitioned just a few months before: this “baby” has matured to become his work of art as he ambitioned it.
Admitting that I have been recently and undeniably drawn to his music, his art is something I, and ultimately you, cannot simply skip or disregard easily. From the melodic and involving sounds of “See you Dance,” the in-no-doubt hit “A World Behind,” and the excellently well achieved, musically picturesque “Tales on an Airplane,” Ronald is ready to take the world by a typhoon—not just by storm. The strong British influence that roughly sculpts each one of his songs, combined with his Latin roots, and other musical elements that are comprised in his work, make Rip’s “Premiere” a must have.
Well done!
